Not you. Me.Being used to moving around as I am (having done that a lot for the past three years with uni in Kalmar and Belfast and all thatcow*), it feels like I've been in the same place for too long. It's getting complicated around here and I don't like it. Time to run. If only I could have some privacy (this is where I glare angrily at my unknowing Moo-Ma - The Opener of All Doors) to think, I'd be fine. With my restless Nii-san running around the place as well it's getting a bit crowded in my buffert zone (the kitchen, just by the kettle and the coffee machine).I'm almost looking forward to five boring hours by bus tomorrow to Stockholm to see Nee-san and I'm definitly looking forward to next friday's three loooong hours by train to go see Fishie.

Call me a total sap but I've just recently realised that love actually does hurt. What hurts the most is that I, as it is at the moment, can't do anything about it. It should be pissing me off but instead I feel empty and tired to the bone.

Anyway, back to business, I hope that the upcoming weekend of Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival can cheer me up. My sister'll pay for my admission though I'll have to pay for my own beer... Oh well. I think I can live with that. First, I'll have to survive commuter trains and subways but if I handled N.Y.C. traffic with ease, I'll surely manage this as well.

I read up on some of my favourite actors today and I just want to point out that Liam Neeson and I have both attended Queen's University in Belfast. Yeah, that's pride.

And I must be more bored than I imagined since I keep looking for ideas for tattoos and piercings everywhere I go... Suggestions?

Yes people, against better judgement as I should be studying Politics, I just finished the third season of the highly acclaimed vampire series True Blood and as much as I hate to admit that another Skarsgård has taken both Hollywood and me by storm, he has.Considering the strangely abrupt ending for all characters involved I’m not expecting another season (though there is a season four in production as we speak) but to be fair it’s been a fun ride and the vampire legend has been used, or abused according to others, yet another time. Personally, I enjoyed the sexual theme throughout the whole series, mostly because that’s what the original Dracula (the one by the crazy Irish guy, Bram Stoker, you know) legend was about; the Count Dracula came from the East to invade the British Empire and suck the pure virginal blood of poor innocent British women through penetrating their necks with his sharp teeth (important word being “penetrating”, the Victorians weren’t as innocent as their Queen wanted them to be after all…).Also, I enjoyed this third season because I'm a big Lafayette fan and got more than I could ever hope for of him (“You a witch who’s a nurse who’s a dude. Holy shit, I guess I lucked out then, huh”).So. If we're going to complain about something we can always talk about vampire teeth looking like something a feral tiger would have, the ridiculous amount of supernatural creatures included and all small insignificant characters to keep track of. Simplicity works. It did in the first season, why not now?Lastly, I’d like to make a small Swedish to English dictionary simply because I can and was freakishly surprised when Swedish turned out to be the language the vampires spoke amongst themselves (on the other hand I was also surprised to find the female agents of the series Chuck to speak Swedish as well. Lets face it, Swedes are taking over Hollywood!), but I’ll resist this once.Perhaps another day.

Not because the song in itself is good enough to evoke any of the shivers I speak of, but because Dominic Monaghan is... hugely underappreciated. This guy is, despite (according to rumour) being a fan of Manchester United, awesome.

What's the use of having a camera if you don't use it? I think today would have been kind of memorable...

...because I picked sweetcorn. No, I didn't get lost though the corn stood high above my head but one of my nephews might have gone missing if he didn't always shout and shriek like a small alarm clock gone mental all the time (considering murder has never been so easy...).Moo-Pa was disturbingly excited about the whole thing. I think he's planning something.

Just read through my stats for the blog and realised that a fair few people from outside the Swedish country borders happened by my blog sometimes. 130 page views from the US this past month alone (and someone from Turkey stumbled upon my blog at some point, unexpected to say the least, but it didn't stop me from laughing). I think it has something to do with the fact that I use some weird hotchpotch between English and Swedish and to be honest; a lot of my interests spring from sources English-based. I got me thinking though… since we all live in an internationalized society and I happen to take an interest in stuff indifferent to nationality, should I be writing completely in English instead? Should I even translate some of my old posts?Am I a bit too ambitious or just a bit too bored?
